About the Fellowship

The Fellowship for Indigenous Leadership was established in 2003 as a vehicle for positive change in Victoria's Indigenous community. Through the provision of financial support, networking opportunities and professional development to appointed Fellows and emerging leaders, the Fellowship empowers Indigenous leaders to focus their drive and energy in areas of importance identified by Victoria's Indigenous community.

Fostering Indigenous leadership is vital to the ongoing survival and growth of Indigenous communities in Victoria. By supporting exceptional people and developing their leadership capacity, the Fellowship provides lasting benefits to the Indigenous community in Victoria.

The Fellowship recognises the examples of outstanding leadership provided by past indigenous leaders and enables today's and tomorrow's leaders to pursue their visions for the well-being and cultural identity of Victoria's Indigenous communities. The Fellowship also promotes the benefits of mutual understanding and genuine partnerships between mainstream and Indigenous communities.
The Fellowship for Indigenous Leadership receives support from a range of sources in the corporate, government and not for profit sectors, as well as donations from individuals.
